閱讀理解。
Home stay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Home stays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
? Continental Breakfast
? Breakfast and Dinner
? Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物類食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally
part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit. You must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary home stay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

閱讀理解These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500：
We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(療法)for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria(自助餐廳)food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine，stick out your tongue，and it will scan your taste buds(味蕾)to see what you want to eat.
—Kristen
Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my ear to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work，I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.
—Morgan
In the year 2500，I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(維)so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly，for we haven't got that technology yet，but they can hover(盤旋)up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!
——Carly
Instead of cars，we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that
the
environment
will
change
the
most. The environmental changes will
also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment，then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment，then we will have no forests and little wildlife left
—Roberta

答案：D 推理判斷題。文章中Morgan對他工作的具體描述使用的是反語，他真實的意思是“這份工作太輕松了”。他的第一句話也是對該意思的提示，故選D項。
4．Who mainly tells the reader of the cars in 2500? A．Kristen.
B．Morgan.
C．Carly.
D．Roberta.
答案：C 段落大意題。根據文章中Carly所說的那段話可知，他主要談到的是2500年的汽車，包括汽車的燃料、廢氣及功能等，故選C項。閱讀下列材料，從每題所給的選項中選出最佳選項。Golden sunlight danced in the treetops，and children's laughter filled the park.The smell of popcorn played on the breeze，and life seemed good.It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my little daughter，Gigi.
That is，until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away.It seemed like a bad dream.I could barely whisper when the police questioned me.For hours we waited，but there was no word on the whereabouts of the car.Tears would start to come.Then nothing.I was numb with fear.
“Go home，Ma'am，” the police officer said.“I'll have someone drive you.We'll also want to monitor your telephone.The kidnappers(綁匪) might call，and we'll want to keep track.Trust me，these guys can't get far.” But after what had just happened，it was hard for me to trust anything.
My friend Gloria came over that afternoon.“I heard about Gigi on the radio，” she said.“Everyone is looking for the car.The interstates are all blocked.” She took my hand.
“Look here Gloria said.“I want you to have this picture，and I want you to pray with me.”
It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed.Standing by the bed was a tall，blond angel(天使)．His hand was touching the girl's shoulder as he smiled down at her.
“You know I don't believe in that kind of thing！” I got angry.“I'm too tired for any trick right now，Gloria! I want my daughter home！”I started to shake，and then I burst into tears again.
Gloria placed the photo on our mantle(壁爐架) and knelt down beside me.“Just pray with me，” she said，holding my hand.
I had no strength left，so we prayed and waited what seemed an age.Together，we waited by the phone until sunset.The phone never rang.
Suddenly，the front door swung open.I looked up and screamed.
There stood Gigi.“Gigi! Thank God！” I cried，throwing my arms around her.“Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police find you？”
“No Mommy！” said Gigi.“I was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away.We were going really fast on an old rock road I'd never seen before.But then a tall man walked out in front of the car，and they ran off the road and hit a tree.Then the tall man ran up and opened the car door and pulled me out.He was really nice，and said I would be okay now，and that those men couldn't hurt me.I must have gone to sleep，because then I woke up here in front of our house.He must have brought me home.”
“But how did he know where to bring you？” My voice broke and sounded a whisper.
“I don't know，Mommy，” Gigi said.“But he was really friendly，and I wasn't scared of him at all.”
Just then Gigi noticed Gloria's picture on the mantle.“That's him！” she cried，pointing at the picture.“Mommy，the tall blond man dressed like an angel.That's the man who pulled me out of the car！”
Gloria turned pale.“Are you sure that's the man？” Gloria asked.
“Yeah，that's him.Except he didn't have wings，and he was wearing blue jeans and a T－shirt.But that's him exactly.I'd remember him anywhere！”
Later that night，the police found the injured kidnappers in their damaged car fifty miles from our home.When questioned，the driver remembered making a sharp turn to avoid hitting a tall blond man.The backseat door that Gigi sat by had been completely torn off.
Twenty years have gone by.We have never heard from anyone claiming to have rescued Gigi.There have been no logical explanations for Gigi's narrow escape and return from so far away.
There have always been things that people can't explain.But，from that day forward，I believe that all experiences，positive and negative，are given to us for our strengthening and learning.
Gigi now takes her little girl to the park on Saturdays.They enjoy the sunlight as it dances in the treetops，the smell of popcorn，and the laughter of children.She keeps Gloria's picture on her mantle，and she remembers her angelic friend.And，like my daughter，I have a faith that has carried me through many trials since that day many years ago.

The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquakeprone(有地震傾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.
Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.
Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地熱的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.
“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.
The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent.
Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.
For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.
The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.
“We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.
Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”
The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, the US, believed Japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.
Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share.In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.
